No matter how much Do-hyun disliked guilds, he wasn’t some battle maniac who’d pick a fight first just to start one.
>In fact, since starting God Ose, he’d never once thrown the first punch, had he?
……So was this just aggro bait?
- Kaiser’s lost his mind lololol
>- Damn, he’s so cool.
>- Isn’t this just insane? Why’s everyone calling it cool?? Looks ridiculously stupid.
>- You gotta know Kaiser’s history first. He’s clashed with tons of guilds and been betrayed plenty. Of course, he crushed them all every time…… Anyway, Kaiser hates guilds with a passion. So his fans thought, this time for sure, he’d join one given the situation.
>But our big bro Kaiser didn’t bow down.
>He said screw all that and stuck to his guns. How is that not the coolest?
- Whoa…… I thought it was just bravado, but there’s a backstory.
>- ㅠㅠㅠ Now that I know, Kaiser oppa’s even cooler, what do I do.
The comments made it clear that wasn’t the case.
And these discussions weren’t limited to this one post. Every time he refreshed, more threads popped up buzzing about the same topic.
Every single one gushed over Kaiser’s actions and praised him to the skies.
“What did I even do? I just went hunting.”
What the hell? Was this some Truman Show?
It felt like the whole world was gaslighting him.
But this was reality.
Do-hyun finally understood why there’d been so many people crowding the Brion entrance.
“Ah…… Those were all scouts trying to recruit me.”
No wonder it was disgustingly packed.
He’d just breezily thought, “Wow, Brion really is something else,” and moved on—talk about oblivious.
Anyway, that wasn’t the point right now.
“……So to sum it up, I’m public enemy number one?”
To every guild out there, Top 100 included.
They wouldn’t make a move right away for the sake of their image, but sabotage was definitely coming.
He’d just shoved a massive middle finger in the face of guys whose pride was their lifeline.
Do-hyun felt wronged, but what was done was done, and no one would buy his side of the story.
Even if they did, denying it in this atmosphere would just look lame.
Beyond lame—it’d make him seem pathetic.
‘Can’t have that.’
Do-hyun had zero intention of going there, so he had one way forward.
‘Screw it. Let’s just roll with this.’
Stick to the current concept.
It wasn’t what he’d planned, but on second thought, it was for the best.
The Black Flame Dragon days were gone, but Do-hyun still harbored plenty of resentment toward guilds.
Even if those scouts had swarmed him, he would’ve turned them all down flat.
‘It was bound to happen anyway.’
Back in Raven’s day, he’d played it safe because he couldn’t handle a mass assault, but things were different now.
He’d racked up rewards like Thousand Transformations and leveled up his specs across the board.
With his current build, he had zero doubts.
He wouldn’t lose.
Unless they dragged him to the Empire, he could stand tall anywhere.
‘Situation’s not half bad.’
Objectively speaking, it wasn’t.
His bold snub seemed to have landed well—most reactions were positive.
People’s expectations for Do-hyun were skyrocketing in real time.
The old Do-hyun would’ve shrugged it off, but not this one.
‘Isn’t this the perfect timing to drop a video?’
He was planning to start NewTube, after all.
Kick it off now, with all eyes on him? Even if only a fraction of those viewers showed up, it’d be massive.
They’d at least pop in to check it out.
‘The video…… this one’s perfect.’
And conveniently, Do-hyun had the ideal footage ready.
Clips from hunting in the Warriors’ Habitat hidden field, plus taking down the field boss Eliza.
‘Skip the Eliza part for now.’
He was traveling with her anyway, and broadcasting it wouldn’t do him any favors, so he set it aside. His gaze shifted to the remaining clip.
The Warriors’ Habitat backdrop. The hidden field boss Karuk.
And that parry-heavy control in the fight style.
‘Looks great visually, all swordsman skills too…… This is it.’
Nothing in Raven would bait more hype than this.
Do-hyun couldn’t help but marvel honestly.
‘Wow, how did this line up so perfectly?’
The material was gold, but he’d had zero confidence.
NewTube was a bloodbath of a market, and he wasn’t great at editing, so drawing viewers felt impossible.
But now this?
It was like someone had laid out the red carpet for his debut.
“Editing…… nah. Just upload raw.”
That’s why Do-hyun could drop an unedited video with such swagger.
He’d already locked in the traffic.
Better to go live now than waste time on edits.
Raw had its charm, and the runtime wasn’t too long anyway.
But first, one hurdle.
[Please set your channel name.]
“Hmm. Channel name.”
It’d stick with him long-term, so he had to choose carefully.
After a moment’s thought, Do-hyun typed it in and hit upload.
[Uploading video.]
[Upload complete.]
Do-hyun shut down his PC coolly and flopped onto the bed.
Sinking into the plush softness, he harbored a little wish.
‘Wake up to like 100k subscribers? That’d be nice.’
He chuckled to himself.
‘Yeah, right.’
100k in a day?
Anyone who knew NewTube would laugh and call it a pipe dream.
Tougher than hitting 1 million views by a mile.
Even with traffic hype, this was pure fantasy. Do-hyun wasn’t that delusional.
‘Hope the views pop off at least.’
With that, he slowly closed his eyes.
That was his last memory. Sleep hit the second his eyelids dropped. Steady breathing filled the room.
Fast asleep, Do-hyun had no clue.
About the storm his video was kicking up. Or how the community was flipping out while he slumbered peacefully.

Around when Do-hyun dozed off, on NewTube.
[Raven Hidden Field Hunt]
Short and sweet title.
Once it hit NewTube, curious viewers bit the hook one by one.
-? What’s this?
>- Hidden field in Raven?
They clicked, questioning…… and didn’t comment until twenty minutes later.
- Warriors’ Habitat? Holy shit, a real hidden field?
>- Raven had a hidden field this whole time? Damn…… this is gonna explode.
>- Forget that, what’s with the controls? Not a single hit lands, why?
The title wasn’t clickbait—it was legit.
A hidden field in Raven was shocking enough, but the controls? Absurd.
Turning his body into a weapon, mowing down warriors like it was nothing.
Not taking a scratch, weaving every attack—it was artistry.
The crowning jewel? The boss fight.
- What skill deflects everything like that?
>- That’s parry, right? Nailing every single one?
>- Whoa…… boss physical. One hit and he’s toast, but he doesn’t take it.
>- Saw that wall pull to bait attacks, wall-jump to blind-spot roll? Sense is insane.
Freely wielding the notoriously brutal “parry,” he straight-up cooked the boss.
No exaggeration—every second of the twenty-plus-minute runtime was highlight-reel gold.
Naturally, viewers had questions.
- My god…… human control?
>- Who the hell is this?
Who was this video’s star, pulling off such impossible feats?
Curiosity cleared up at the channel name.
[Kaiser TV]
>Subscribers: 23
-……Kaiser TV?
>- Kaiser? The Kaiser I know?
>- No way. Kaiser dropped a video?
The name screamed Kaiser.
No way it was an imposter. That skill on a hidden field stage? Had to be him.
[Greeting: Hey, Kaiser here. First time on NewTube, so raw upload—bear with me. Enjoy.]
Polite yet effortlessly cool and detached.
The trifecta proved it was Kaiser.
- Holy crap. Spread this NOW!
>- Take me!!
>- Guys, check this out. Kaiser posted!!! Insane quality, please watch: link http……(abridged).
Hyped fans carted the video everywhere—communities, everywhere.
- What? Kaiser started NewTube!?
>- Hidden field too? In Raven?
>- What’s it about??
With Kaiser dominating chatter already, masses clicked.
And freaked.
- Holy shit! What the……
>- Wow…… wow…… just wow, speechless.
>- His play isn’t human. Can’t stop marveling at those beautiful moves.
>- Now I get the solo vs. Top 100 Guilds vibe.
>- Was skeptical, but yeah…… controls are nuts. What passive is parry?? Lololol
>- But the damage? Warriors melting? What’s his gear……
>- Controls, DPS, mentality—flawless. No wonder he’s number one.
God-tier play that earned the hype. They spread the word far and wide.
The video snowballed, drawing unprecedented eyes……
- Is this the god’s NewTube?
>- Ahh…… you’ve arrived. Receive the god and come back for more comments.
>- From Australia. Is this the land of gods?
>- On rewatch five…… five diapers down. Twenty left……
>- But who’s that robed guy next to him? Party member?
>- It’s an 18+ game, but isn’t he too small? Like 140cm? Short girl?
>- Guardian, right? Just picking loot—probably grabbed one ‘cause item cleanup’s a chore.
>- Whatever, views real?? Lololol 200k an hour ago, now over 500k.
>- Subscribers climbing too lololol class is nuts.
>- How do you not sub?? Lol
Views hit 1 million, subs 100k—in a flash.
It didn’t stop, climbing higher. Fans wouldn’t calm down.
- One video? Unacceptable?
>- Criminal! Only one upload!?
- Need more to stan. Let’s unite for efficient fanning!
Diehards formed a cafe.
Kai-Shin Church.
Worshipping Kaiser God—a fan cafe.
Shockingly, it wasn’t brand new.
- What? Existing Kaiser fan cafe?
>- From Delrock days? Whatever, join up!
>- Whoa, tons of Kaiser posts. Everyone here!
Run by manager “Zealot,” a tiny double-digit group.
Thankfully, the manager welcomed newbies with open arms.
Just like that, Kai-Shin Church membership rocketed to five digits.
As NewTube erupted and Kai-Shin Church claimed official Kaiser fan status……
“Hmmnya, mm…… golden……”
Do-hyun mumbled nonsense, roaming dreamland.
